    based on 1 rating
     | 7,677 views

    We need to make sure our faith is visible and real so others might see who God really is in us!

    Visible Faith -Our lives are on display. This is true of all who calls themselves Christ followers or Christians. Since our lives are on display, we need to be sure that people can see Jesus, not just us. People won’t stay interested very long if they just see me. But if they can see Jesus ...read more

    You are the light of the world. As you live out this goodness visibly in front of the people of the world, your life will point them to Jesus where they too can find life that is real life.

    Opening illustration: Robert Lewis Stevenson, peering out of the window saw a workman come by and light the gas lights along the street. When asked what he was watching, the young boy said, “I see a man making holes in the darkness.” Let us turn to Matthew 5 and see how we as believers can make ...read more

    Because our lives are on display, we must let God’s light shine through us. I. You’ve Got Light II. The World Needs Light III. Let Your Light Shine

    Brilliance on Display Intro: 2 guys were carpenters, and 1 always was teasing the other, not repudiated to be very smart. One night he shined his flashlight up to the 2nd story of a house and said, ‘would you mind climbing up this light beam and get my hammer for me?’ The nitwit said, ‘hah, how ...read more

    Impacting Your World For Jesus Series

     | 11,946 views

    Jesus asks us to be both salt AND light to impact the world around us for him. We need to be both, not one or the other. It’s a challenge!

    Making Jesus better known to others will complicate your life, but the rewards are out of this world! Getting married, or having children complicates things; but they’re worth it. Spending time with people who don’t know Jesus will complicate your life, but it’s so worth it. Ask a mother a few ...read more

    Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light reveal how His followers are to be positive influences in the world.

    You’ve probably all heard the old adage “No man is an island.” Since that was the thought that first came to mind as I read the passage that we’ll look at this morning, this week I did some research to find out where that saying originated. It comes from Meditation XVII ...read more

     | 7,934 views

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine on the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5.

    Chapter 1 1. If any one will piously and soberly consider the sermon which our Lord Jesus Christ spoke on the mount, as we read it in the Gospel according to Matthew, I think that he will find in it, so far as regards the highest morals, a perfect standard of the Christian life: and this we do not ...read more

     | 8,177 views

    Being salt and light mean being out there in the world, not pursuing a private spirituality.

    How many of you watch Survivor? I never have. I suppose I should, to be in touch with contemporary culture, in order to be able to speak to it... but it simply doesn’t appeal to me. I have plenty of reality in my own life, thank you, I like my down time to be somewhat more elevated - to coin a ...read more

    Does your presence at work or home make the world a little more flavorful? Does the way you treat others make life tase better or do you bring people down with a bitter attitude?

    A Salt Covered Road Matthew 5:13-16 This week God was speaking to me while I was driving back and forth to Sarnia to attend training sessions for my job. As I travelled I was amazaed to see how much salt we pour out on our roadways to make them safe for winter driving. It got me to thinking ...read more

    Stewardship message, designed as a dialogue between the pastor and a lay reader, and focusing on all the light we as a church now shed, but also could share, with adequate personnel and finances. Ends with a candlelighting ceremony.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Nov. 11, 1990 Pastor: One Christian organization that is concerned with helping people who have emotional problems uses as its slogan, "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." Today we are going to test that theory. This morning we ...read more

    When Jesus says that we are the light of the world, it means God has deposited His nature inside of us, and we are to let it out. It’s in there! It just needs to be allowed to shine forth. Today from this passage of scripture we will learn much like salt

    Jesus, Sermon on the Mount Part 3 Called to be Shinny Matthew 5:14-16 Introduction Light, much like salt, is a miracle. Last time we saw how salt is comprised of 2 poisons that kill, but mixed together they are ordinary salt. And so the Christian life is a miracle as we were poisoned w/ sin and ...read more
